Medicare Care Choices Model (MCCM) Report Released
The fifth (and final) evaluation report was published in November 2023 and promoted in January 2024. The model from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, which ran from 2016-2021, tested the impact of allowing beneficiaries with terminal conditions to receive supportive/hospice services concurrently with curative treatments. Among the results, surveyed MCCM enrollees and caregivers reported high levels of satisfaction with shared decision-making, receiving care consistent with their wishes, and quality of life.
